Over the last year, device makers used Soleus to develop PNDs that can provide real-time traffic reports, road-closure information and point-of-interest updates, as well as let the user conduct local searches and stay connected with instant messaging, phone and email. The Excellence Award was presented at a ceremony during Microsoft Tech Ed North America 2008 in Orlando, Florida.

"Windows Embedded is excited to recognize Intrinsyc as a leading innovator with its Soleus software platform," said Ilya Bukshteyn, Director of Marketing for the Windows Embedded Business.
